First Settler Arrested in Attack on Palestinian Village of Qusra
Israeli police have arrested a 19-year-old resident of a settlement in the northern West Bank in connection with a recent attack on the Palestinian village of Qusra. This marks the first arrest in the case. The suspect was apprehended on Tuesday morning as part of a joint investigation by the police and the Shin Bet security agency.
Following his arrest, the individual was taken for questioning. Authorities plan to bring him before a court to seek an extension of his detention. The incident in question occurred last Saturday, when, according to investigators, dozens of Israeli settlers entered Qusra, occupied a house with a Palestinian family inside, and attacked local residents by throwing stones.
The police stated that their joint investigative team is continuing to gather evidence and witness testimonies. Their objective is to identify all other participants in the assault and apprehend everyone involved in the incident.
